Since the publication of this invaluable history of television and how it has shaped, and been shaped by, American culture and society, many significant changes have occurred. Assessing the importance of these developments in a new chapter, Barnouw covers the decline of the three major networks, the expansion of cable and satellite television and film channels such as HBO, the success of channels catering to special audiences such as ESPN and MTV, and the arrival of VCRs in America's living rooms. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting$xHistory. 676 $a384.55/0973 700 $aBarnouw$b Erik$f1908-2001.$0141945 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966102303321 996 $aTube of plenty$94464039 997 $aUNINA
